Step 1/2

Introduction: Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, guiding the synthesis of proteins in cells. Each mRNA molecule has a specific sequence of nucleotides that encodes the instructions for building a particular protein. Errors or mutations in this sequence can lead to malfunctioning proteins or even disrupt cellular processes.

Step 2/2

The original mRNA sequence TACCAGGATCACTTTGCCA is incorrect because it contains thymine (T) bases, which are not found in RNA. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U). Therefore, the corrected version of the given sequence in RNA format would be UACCAGGAUCACTUUGCCA.

Final Answer

The original mRNA sequence TACCAGGATCACTTTGCCA is incorrect because it contains thymine (T) bases, which are not found in RNA.
